‼️Recent reports in Connecticut show a rise in Benadryl (diphenhydramine) overdoses in children and teens—including deaths.

💊We do not recommend Benadryl for routine allergy treatment. Safer, longer-acting options like Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, & Xyzal are preferred.

🗝️ Keep all medications locked up, avoid large quantities at home, and talk with older kids and teens about medication safety.

📞 Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222 (24/7)
